Peace, be still.

I feel hollow and sorrowful as I read the Revolutionary Mothers by Carol Berkin.  War has never seemed glorious to me; but the actual descriptions of the moral dissintigration, the destitute people, the ravaged farms & destroyed property, the cruelty of good men and women, the gore, and the mortality is so sickening.  Neighbor against neighbor, haunted men, lonely and starving women and children...

I have perceived in our nation the conservative, God fearing population (both Jew and Gentile), stirring like buzzing bees.  I believe they buzz due to the high amount of Liberal news egging them on and making them feel like they are not important and not heard.  

It occurs to me that many prominent speakers are trying to get the conservative base to rise up in revolution.  Why?  History shows that they would do this in order to suppress the the revolutionaries shortly after the uprising and bring vast amounts of power to the leaders of the country due to an "emergency".  The leaders of this confused nation have already begun to strip us of our rights and force on us "luxuries" as a bribe to get our allegiance.

Personally, I do not wish to be enslaved by Socialism, Marxism, Communism, or Tyranny.  

Yet, we are good people who want freedom for our families, freedom to worship, and freedom to begin with nothing and build wealth.  

We must use God's power to wage this war.  This land is consecrated by God and for God for the fulfillment of His promises.  His church was re-established on this continent for the beautification, prosperity, and edification of all of His children.  He does not loose His wars for He has legions of angels and all the powers of science and heaven at His fingertips.

I am at peace. 

Oh, Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee,
How great thou art!
How great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee,
How great thou art!
How great thou art!

  2. ps. In case you can't get to the Hunter article w/ the link I posted, it's his talk about us going and eating a plate of worms since we're being so critical. It's called "An Anchor to the Souls of Men," and was printed in the Oct. 1993 Ensign, p. 70.

    I love how he brought it back to the Savior, just like you did in this post.
